We demonstrate that a coaxially pumped, large-aperture ultraviolet power-amplifier module with solid-state tunable laser medium Ce(3+):LiCaAlF6 has 98-mJ, 290-nm, and 3-ns output pulses with a sufficient extraction efficiency of 25%. The detailed information of design parameters, including the gain-coefficient dependence on pump condition, is successfully accumulated for further energy scaling for a terawatt-class ultraviolet chirped pulse amplification laser system or a high-pulse-energy laser system.

This review article investigates the current status and advances in Ku-band gallium nitride (GaN) high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) high-power amplifiers (HPAs), which are critical for satellite communications, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, and military radar applications. The demand for high-frequency, high-power amplifiers is growing, driven by the global expansion of high-speed data communication and enhanced national security requirements. First, we compare the main GaN HEMT process technologies employed in Ku-band HPA development, categorizing the HPAs into monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) and internally matched power amplifier modules (IM-PAMs) and examining their respective characteristics.

. In magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET), linearly frequency-modulated (LFM) signal stimulation uses much lower peak voltage than the spike pulse stimulation, lengthening the operation life of the transducer. However, due to the uneven frequency responses of the transducer, the low-noise amplifier (LNA), and the bandpass filter (BPF), MAET using LFM signal stimulation suffers from longitudinal resolution loss.
